Hey everybody,

I was just wondering what's the most effective hpt people have tried? And what brand is FRE?

Thanks,

I will stand by my favourite- FRE which is First Response Early. All 3 BFPs I've used this and it seems to be most sensitive and reliable.


HTH!

jenn44,

I think EPT is a very reliable test if you are testing to find out "for sure" if you are pregnant. If you are testing early (which I saw you are at 12 dpo), I think CVS stick tests are good for the $ although I never got a dark line with one. I got a faint one at 14 dpo after the 5-minute reading but before you have to throw at the test, and I got a darker line at 16 dpo within the 5-minute window but still not as dark as the control. I used the EPT 2 to 4 days later, when I got a dark line.

This was the only time I have ever used tests, so I've never gotten any false negatives or positives.

GL,

Chanda

Personally, I got faint positives with EPT when I was still getting BFNs with FRE tests, so I like that brand. I like ClearBlue Easy too. I was getting dark lines with that test, and still faint lines with FRE.
